Agra Fort is a fort located in Agra, a city in the north of India. It
was built in the 16th century and owned by the Mughal Empire. The third
Mughal emperor Akbar commissioned the building of an enormous castle,
with a circumference as long as 2.5km. It is known for its two-layered
castle wall, made from red sandstone, and is sometimes called "The Red
Fort." In contrast to its heavy exterior walls, many of the buildings
inside the fort feature white marble, giving a luxurious and refined
impression. Agra Fort was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1993.
